A8V Deluexe Athlon 64 4000+

[EdwardG]

I have an A8V Deluxe Mobo with an Athlon 64 4000+ CPU home built pc, a
pair of Corsair VS512MB400 ram sticks, and IDE drive.

My Problem:
I insert my old drive from my old pc and ran a repair installation,
for i wouldn’t lose my important files, the system installed
succesfully. When it finished the system automatically rebooted and
every time it boots, after the logo thingy with the progress bar
(loading stage), the system keeps rebooting.

I checked the compatibility on the ram sticks and there are one of the
compatible vendors so I bought another set of ram (useful anyhow) for
nothing.

I tried EZ Flash installing the latest bios renaming it the A8V.ROM &
pressing alt f2 but the system wouldn’t detect it from the floppy.

Help plz,

Edward

You can check the RAM set with any auxilar programm like MEMTEST under a DOS
session.
But it seems to me that the repaired windows installation is not consistent.
I would make a backup of the HD -if possible - with Ghost to a DVD or to
another HD and then format the HD and perform a new clean install.
You can recoved later the required data from the DVD image file.
